The Heritage Tradition
The Heritage Tradition offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care in Sun City West, AZ. Assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing, and medication while the resident keeps a private living space. Independent living provides private living with community services but no daily care, while memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care supports short stays when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.
The range of care types may make The Heritage Tradition a good fit for a resident whose needs may grow over time, since care options are available within one community. Housing includes studios as well as one bedroom, two bedroom, and three bedroom residences. Pets are allowed. A resident can bring a pet when moving into the community.
There is plenty to do on site. Residents can use a heated swimming pool, spa, lap pool, fitness center, full service beauty salon and barbershop, putting green, craft studio, library, and game room. Restaurant style dining, chef prepared meals, and multiple dining venues provide places to eat within the community, while activities include yoga, tai chi, water aerobics, book and gardening clubs, cooking demonstrations, and putting contests. Senior Resource Group (SRG Senior Living) operates The Heritage Tradition.
A Walk Score of 50 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, meaning some errands can be done on foot. A resident who no longer drives may be able to complete some trips independently.
